Upload Tips: Keep the Glow
The #1 way to lose the glow is “helpful” apps and editors. Upload this file the right way and stay blinding.
Upload Tips

FAQ
Why doesn't it glow?
The glow requires an HDR-capable screen. SDR screens will show the normal image.
Can I use filters?
No, applying filters typically strips the glow data required for the effect.
Is it visible everywhere?
The effect is only visible on screens that support and display High Dynamic Range content.
Why upload the PNG directly?
Flashblind generates a specialized PNG. Editing or re-saving it often destroys the brightness data.
